BUSA is committed to providing a competitive soccer environment to our current and former members. We are very excited to offer this opportunity for our players to compete at the national level in a professional environment while maintaining their amateur status. BUSA Executive Director Andrew Brower commented, "This is an excellent way for our current and former players to continue to develop during the summer months! It also provides a platform for our younger players to look up to and aspire to play for the team one day."

The Players

The great variety of highly skilled players is what makes the WPSL truly successful. WPSL teams roster college, post-college, foreign players and talented high school players every year. Many college programs encourage their players to play in our summer league because they believe it helps them prepare for the upcoming season. These players gain tremendous experience playing alongside other dedicated, competitive players, some of whom are former professional soccer players and others whom are aspiring to become professionals on or off the field.

We give post-college players a place to play at a very high competitive level while they are starting their careers.

Collegiate programs have utilized our league to improve their player’s development and sustain their fitness over the summer months. Highly competitive youth clubs have also used our league to expose their players to teams that carry players from every level - national, collegiate, post-collegiate and youth - and they then carry the experience they’ve gained, individually and as a team, into their local league competition in the fall and spring.
